academic virtue signaling. like people recommending TAOCP to people that don't know how to program or rudin (either one!) to people that don't know any math.

>none of that disproves anything I said

i love people like you. gets presented with evidence to the contrary and just completely dismisses it. have you ever considered that you might let it roll around in your head before you make the call that none of it disproves anything you said? have you really done the due diligence on the examples i've furnished?

>By proxy when the unpopularity of a decision impacts revenue/public perception. We can choose not to do business with companies that are especially unconscionable.

do you really live in a fairy tale?

just off the top of my head

>Companies canceling them are failing in their social responsibility

do you really believe there's a single incorporated entity on the planet that makes decision based on social responsibility? companies that continue to have internships are doing so because if they do not then they won't meet hiring quotas for next year (and will then be short-staffed because of churn).

i'm curious does Bloomberg have a lot of experience running internships completely wfh? can you talk a little bit about how you're planning to adjust how you mentor and coordinate (if you're hosting this summer)?

>Just an idea, but looking back on internships from years past, three things they give you are experience/learning, networking/relationships, and a resume item.

you forgot one very important item: full time offer.

>I did it once, I can do it again :)

honestly i feel that a lot. if my internship gets cancelled i'll be mighty disappointed after having anticipated it for so long (years) but one thing you should (and i will) keep in mind is that you can probably get recycled to next summer. admittedly that isn't a consolation if you're graduating next year.

basically this same story was posted last week and i commented on that one as well.

i have a summer internship with FB and i reached out to both my recruiter and team lead. both said that it's still on but possibly WFH. from what i've heard Google isn't cancelling software internships (the cited cancellation is for UX design) and doing online onboarding and WFH at the discretion of the managers.

if you're in the same boat you should probably email your recruiter and your matched team lead.

>Now, “falsification” itself is a silly/naive cartoon-ish framework for how to do science. It has its uses, but we mustn’t cling to it too much (which would be cargo culting). We certainly have many other useful approaches as well.

i don't understand your point. you're saying something like "even though GR supersedes Newton it doesn't falsify Newton, and Newton is still useful". yes incorrect theories can still be useful but that doesn't make them correct. As soon as i use Newton for very fast things (or very small things) and i get poor results that is falsification of the claim that Newton is a GUT. maybe that isn't an interesting claim (though certainly there are a lot of theorists that are interested in that claim) but that's subjective not formal.

lol why is this at all relevant to einstein

>No known preexisting conditions is very different from no preexisting conditions.

but you can easily have regular checkups and still have an undiscovered (unknown) pre-existing condition. so what is the difference?

just FYI you can change the battery on that mbp pretty easily

I used shoe laces. just be sure you get the right battery - I had to reorder mine because plug was actually shifted a little.

like I said: what is your point other than to mislead? you still have not made any positive claims

is this a game of gotcha? i didn't say they were plaintiffs. i said they were exerting efforts. here are amicae briefs written by trump's DOJ

here are summary articles explaining trump's DOJ's efforts

so what is your point other than to mislead?

>Extensive breakfasting should therefore be preferred over large dinner meals to prevent obesity and high blood glucose peaks even under conditions of a hypocaloric diet.

that there are literally active efforts working to make it not true

you realize this is literally only as of the ACA in 2010? and if the trump administration has its way (there's a supreme court case on the docket to completely kill ACA) we're going back to that?

does not being able to socialize qualify as "far from"?

>but it will be far from the same experience

why do you think so? except for free food and the city life of whichever city you were supposed to be in, what's the difference?

>optimal solution in less than a minute

you're interviewing wrong and i'm surprised that you haven't figured it out given 200 attempts. put yourself in the shoes of the interviewer - interviews aren't their main focus in the company and hence they're not invested in being excellent interviewers. they're most likely trying to do a good enough job such that it counts towards promotion and simultaneously not have a horrible time during the interview. so they have roughly a script that they'll follow

1. give the imprecise problem statement

2. give the opportunity for clarifying questions (points added or subtracted from interviewee for asking relevant/irrelevant/interesting/mundane question)

3. give the opportunity for naive solution (points added or subtracted for facility in implementing and runtime discussion)

4. introduce challenge portion (optimization or constraint or whatever)

5. give another opportunity for clarifying questions

6. give opportunity for talking through a solution

7. give opportunity for writing solution

assuming you make it this far

8. give the opportunity for discussion of trade-offs in time/space/code complexity/latency/etc.

that's 6 opportunities to demonstrate that you're smart, fastidious, affable, etc but only 2 of them are really technical. if you're aiming for writing the best/most optimal solution as fast as possible then you're aiming for the wrong thing - it's not a standardized test but an interview (i.e. two people are involved). you should be aiming to impress the interviewer! those aren't the same (the first is a component of the second).

if you'd you should put your contact info either here in a response or in your profile and i'll reach and we can chat about interviewing (i'm not a coach or a business but i do interview well so maybe i can help you a little).

what does smashed every problem mean? are you really getting the entire solution including optimization written up each time? i find it hard to believe that you're acing the technical and bombing the rest so egregiously that you're not getting offers.

i'm sure FB isn't going to fail but i am wondering if it logistically won't be possible. i mean menlo park is under shelter-in-place and if you asked me a couple of weeks ago i would not have imagined an intern class could be productive on WFH.

this thing is causing me a lot of anxiety lately. i finally landed a FB summer internship in menlo park and now i can't tell if it'll actually happen. recruiter is saying everything is still on track but i'm sure there's no way they can predict whether that'll change soon.

i know google is doing virtual onboarding and wfh for incoming interns according to the whether the team that hosts is still game. does anyone have any idea about FB?

interesting. I'd found the app before but couldn't tell if there was an export feature. I'll try it out

can you export export/save the cards?

>The feedback/back-propagation is very similar

i really wish people wouldn't say these things just to sound smart. it confuses people that don't know better. feedback loops have nothing to do with backprop, which is just a way to factorize the jacobian into matrix vector products instead of matrix matrix products. do you have some proof (and it would require a proof) that PID controllers actually compute the gradient of a function with respect to n-inputs? because that's what backprop does.

i've said it before and i'll say it again: this is content marketing (for some kind of bs courses or something). why are you people upvoting this

do you not go to the movies in the US? Fandango is one of the only ways you can prepurchase tickets - their kiosks are at every theater I've been to over the last ~10 years.

You're acting like it's your money they've spent or tax payer money that's been spent? Why does it matter how much has been spent? Is this like some kind of weird entitlement where you get to be upset because companies made aspirational promises (to their shareholders mind you, not to you)

I love these hottakes. Like there are thousands of researchers working tirelessly to resolve the issue in the affirmative or negative, writing papers, giving talks, publishing code, but we should take your word on it harry8 that the emperor has no clothes. How about anything in the way of evidence that what you're saying is insightful? Do you have literally any data to corroborate what you're saying? Because I can go to arxiv and find plenty of papers with validated metrics that contradict diametrically what you're saying.
